He hurriedly got out of the GLC.
When the saleswoman saw him, she breathed a sigh of relief. She had just reported to her boss; if the client disappeared, she’d be finished!
Besides, this was a 19 million yuan car. The commission alone would be enough to buy a house back in her hometown. A client like this was a once-in-a-millennium opportunity!
They say it takes a hundred years of fate to bring two people together, but meeting a client like this must have taken a thousand. Seeing how handsome Zhao Hui was, the saleswoman felt she’d even be willing to sleep with him for a year.
"This way, sir!"
Zhao Hui called out to Wang Hao, "Haozi, something came up. I’ll catch you later!"
Father Wang and Wang Hao were both a little surprised. They had assumed Zhao Hui was just browsing, not expecting him to actually be attended to by a staff member.
Their eyes followed Zhao Hui until he was about to head to the second floor, just as a short, elderly-looking man came down.
The man trotted down the stairs, shook Zhao Hui’s hand with both of his, and then personally invited him upstairs.
After a moment, Father Wang said, "See that, Xiao Hao? People buying cars here get serviced by pretty saleswomen. Guys like Zhao Hui only get the little old men!"
The person receiving Zhao Hui was the owner of the dealership. When he heard someone wanted to buy the Brabus G900, he was so excited he was ready to call him "Grandpa."
The car had been ordered by a good friend of his. Never mind all the trouble it took to order it—now his friend was having cash flow problems and couldn’t take delivery, which was stressing the owner out to no end.
He knew that with his own financial means, he couldn’t justify driving the Brabus G900, known as the pinnacle of off-road vehicles. But a car this expensive was also incredibly hard to sell!
There weren’t many people who could spend 19 million on something like this.
In response to the dealership owner’s courtesy, Zhao Hui offered a few casual pleasantries and then asked if he could take the car today.
Of course, he could. The owner was afraid any delay might bring complications.
The owner shouted for Xiao Li to come over.
Zhao Hui was confused. ’Isn’t the saleswoman right here?’ he thought. ’Who’s Xiao Li?’
The owner had already started explaining, "Xiao Li handles our financing. I called him over to help you with the loan!"
"A loan? I don’t need a loan."
The owner and the saleswoman exchanged a look. The saleswoman asked in disbelief, "President Zhao, you’re paying in full?"
Zhao Hui grunted in affirmation. "Of course. Why would I need a loan to buy a car?"
’Damn, this guy’s obscenely rich!’
The dealership owner complained internally but put on a fawning expression. "President Zhao, you clearly have the means. Most bosses would have a hard time producing 20 million in cash all at once!"
Zhao Hui nodded. He was basically a fox borrowing the tiger’s might. Forget 20 million; his former self would have struggled to come up with even 2,000 yuan.
Even now, having just started his job, he hadn’t even gotten his first paycheck yet. He wasn’t exactly rolling in cash himself.
But to President Chen, 20 million was probably just a string of numbers. After all, the memory of him buying Jiangzhou Wansheng in a fit of anger was still fresh in his mind.
Since it was a full payment, the loan specialist wasn’t needed. Xiao Li went off to tend to his own business.
The dealership owner told the saleswoman to get busy with other things while he personally handled the vehicle handover for Zhao Hui. This was certainly a first!
The Wang father and son waited and waited, and finally, the loan specialist arrived.
Xiao Li apologized, "I’m so sorry. The boss just called me over to handle financing for a VIP client, so I got held up for a moment."
Father Wang said unhappily, "We’re all customers. There should be a first-come, first-served rule. On what grounds can he just cut in line because your boss called? How big of a client could he be?"
He was just venting, of course. The owner of the dealership definitely had that privilege.
’What’s that? The customer is God? That’s just something they say to placate you. You actually believe it?’
As Xiao Li checked his documents, he chuckled and said, "Well, you’d be surprised. This client is on another level. He’s buying such an expensive car and isn’t even financing it. Otherwise, I’d probably still be over there with him."
Father Wang said haughtily, "Who can’t afford to pay in full for a car? We’re financing because the interest rates are low. We’re businessmen; this money can generate much greater returns if we invest it in our business!"
Xiao Li just smiled and said nothing, but he thought, ’You’re buying a GLC. What’s the point of comparing yourself to someone buying a Brabus G900? The price of his one car could buy several truckloads of yours.’
The dealership would love nothing more than for customers to finance. They get kickbacks from partner banks and can also require customers to buy several years of insurance at once, earning another kickback from that.
So, naturally, Xiao Li wouldn’t show any disdain for a customer who chose to finance.
Just then, Xiao Li happened to glance over and see the dealership owner and Zhao Hui coming down from the second floor. He gestured and said, "See? That’s the client from just now. A real big shot!"
Father Wang and Wang Hao followed his gaze. "Why is it Zhao Hui?"
"That’s the VIP client you were talking about?" Father Wang laughed so hard he bent over as he asked Xiao Li.
Xiao Li had no idea what was so funny. He asked, baffled, "Yes, that’s him. What’s wrong?"
"Ha... haha! You’re killing me! That kid, a VIP client? How ’VIP’ could he be?"
Xiao Li was getting a little annoyed. ’This guy is acting like a total idiot. What’s so funny about this?’
"Someone who can pay 19 million in full for a Brabus G900 doesn’t count as a VIP client?"
"Ha, haha! Of course that counts, but you must be mistaken this time. I happen to know that kid. Forget 19 million, he’d have a hard time scraping together 1,900 yuan!"
Xiao Li shook his head. ’Better to argue a hundred times with a smart person than to waste a single word on a fool.’
’The owner was personally accompanying him, and I just saw them go into the finance office to pay. How could that be fake?’
After finishing the financing paperwork and buying insurance, Wang Hao kept looking around but couldn’t see where Zhao Hui had gone.
When Xiao Li said he was a VIP client, Wang Hao, like his father, thought he must have been mistaken. How could he not know what kind of person Zhao Hui was?
’A 19 million Brabus G900? He could maybe afford a toy model, that’s about it.’
During the handover for his own car, Wang Hao was taking pictures with his new ride when he overheard the delivery staff chatting nearby.
"The boss is personally handling a vehicle handover today. That’s unprecedented!"
"You don’t even know the half of it. It’s not just the handover; he’s been with the client the entire time!"
"But then again, that Brabus is slick, just way too expensive. Finding a buyer couldn’t have been easy."
"Hey, look, their handover ceremony is finishing up too. Damn, that thing looks incredible all cleaned up! It’s going to be such a head-turner on the road!"
Drawn by their exclamations of awe, Father Wang and Wang Hao looked over. Not far away was a completely black, boxy vehicle. Its design was similar to a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen, but it looked a size larger, and its presence absolutely dominated everything around it.
As the vehicle slowly drove out of the handover area, they saw the slightly balding man waving at it.
"Looks like the boss is a little reluctant to see that car go!"
"Get real. He’s just so relieved he doesn’t know what to do with himself. Otherwise, with that much money tied up and his loan coming due, how was he going to repay it?"
Father Wang asked, "Is that the owner of your dealership?"
The delivery specialist replied, "Yeah, he’s here for a handover too. For that 19 million yuan Brabus!"
Just then, on the driver’s side of the Brabus, the tinted window slowly rolled down, revealing a young, handsome face.
"Zhao Hui?" Father Wang and Wang Hao muttered at the same time.
